More About LIES

Ouch.

Ok, we've got ourselves a gullible one here. Hmmmm.....

gull i ble: easily cheated or duped. Hence "gullibility".

face manNot a good sign for a Law School candidate. But don't feel too badly; you're not the first person to end up here.

We are threatening to throw you out.

Select a response from this list:

  1. Slip a hundred-dollar bill into our hand.
  2. Beg for mercy. Tell us about your impoverished background. Show us pictures of the family back home in Cowville, Kansas that you're supporting since your dad died when you were twelve. Think of the day your cat died to force a tear down your cheek. Sob as you try to speak for additional emotional effect.
  3. Say that you knew damn well that LIES was a hoax but you just wanted to see what would happen if you selected that option. You weren't born yesterday and, besides, inquisitiveness is an important attribute for a law school candidate.
  4. "View Source" of this web page to see which of these responses will get you back into the game.

By the way, we will soon apply to the official Law School Admission Council, the BIG CHEESE of LSAT accrediation, for accreditation. Until they have accepted our application (and we don't expect this to take more than a few decades), you may not want to mention your affiliation with us. Not that we're outlawed by them or anything...it's just that, well, we do things differently.

Trial, for the layperson (read "non-lawyer") is a source of tremendous stress and nervousness. You rarely see standing-room only line-ups at the public galleries of the Courthouse. But for lawyers, they are masochistic labours of love; a chunk of time where the stress is through the roof but so, too, is the intensity.

Unless otherwise noted, this article was written by Lloyd Duhaime, Barrister, Solicitor, Attorney and Lawyer (and Notary Public!). It is not intended to be legal advice and you would be foolhardy to rely on it in respect to any specific situation you or an acquaintance may be facing. In addition, the law changes rapidly and sometimes with little notice so from time to time, an article may not be up to date. Therefore, this is merely legal information designed to educate the reader. If you have a real situation, this information will serve as a good springboard to get legal advice from a lawyer.
